How can I update out-of-the-box web parts in SharePoint Server 2019 to match those in SharePoint Online?

Question

Hello everyone,

I have noticed that the out-of-the-box (OOTB) web parts for SharePoint Server 2019 are not as feature-rich as those in SharePoint Online. SharePoint Online has many more options for web parts, such as the Quick Links web part.

I would like to know if there are any latest updates available for SharePoint Server 2019 that can make the OOTB web parts more feature-rich like SharePoint Online.

Can you please provide me with a screenshot of the web part(s) and a link to the SharePoint Server 2019 update KB to achieve this? Thank you.

Hi @Muhamad Fahrurrozi，

The latest update KBs include previous updates for SharePoint Server 2019:

• Update for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Language Pack (KB5002374)
• Security Update for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019 Core (KB5002389)

Download the above two KBs and install them on your all SharePoint Servers. Also don't forget to run SharePoint Configuration Wizard after then.

OOTB web parts available after updating. The Quick Links web part you mentioned is already included. But still many OOTB web parts which are available in SharePoint Online are not supported by SharePoint Server 2019. This is designed by Microsoft so I'm afraid we cannot achieve them from end-user side. You can provide your idea to MS via this portal: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/forum/06735c62-321c-ec11-b6e7-0022481f8472. We appreciate your feedback and will make improvements in the future.
